07 Tahoe power lift gate problem!

[jabbahoo]

My Power lift gate lifts fine if you use the fob key or from the overhead in cab button, But won't if you use the rear lift gate handle or the button inside the tailgate. Any ideas what it is or how to fix?

Take it in for a warranty repair! Why would you attempt the repair yourself and possibly make it worse and then the dealership really won't warranty it!

 

[jabbahoo]

Ahh because the warranty has expired.

I assume it's out by mileage?

 

[jabbahoo]

Yes. Didn't know if anyone else has experience this problem. If know one has I guess I can take it to the stealership and see what they say $$

Maybe these could be your problems. If the button gets pushed forward in the cab, it won't allow you to use the power lift. Also, you can't use it if your tahoe isn't in park.

Yeah the button is the first thing I checked. It wouldn't work with the fob key if that was the case too. fob key and overhead cab button work and open and close it fine. But if you walk behind the tahoe and press the rear handle on lift gate it doesn't do anything. If I open it up with the fob key and try and close it with the button on the bottom of the lift gate it also does nothing. I can close it with the fob key thou....Wierd!

This is a long shot but you might try disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes.
